WITH 12 individual group winners and nine other listed scorers, Tamayuz has made an impression since he went to stud. He has sired more than 165 individual winners of in excess of 450 races and almost £10,000,000, including four Group 1 stars. Last year one of his yearlings sold for 100,000gns, while a foal made €95,000 at Goffs.

Tamayuz had his first Group 1 winning offspring when his son G Force was an impressive winner of the Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock Park, becoming the champion three-year-old sprinter in Europe. Another top-class son of Tamayuz, the very speedy Sir Prancealot, scored in the Group 2 Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster and became a champion first-crop sire.

In 2019 Tamayuz’s son Mustashry defeated several other Group 1 winners in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury, then added the Group 2 Challenge Stakes at Newmarket, while his daughter Precieuse added the Grade 3 Honey Fox Stakes in the USA to her triumph in the Group 1 French 1000 Guineas.

Among other group/graded winners by Tamayuz are Blond Me, successful in the Grade 1 E P Taylor Stakes in Canada and the Group 2 Middleton Stakes at York, Desert Skyline in the Group 2 Doncaster Cup and Gallic Chieftain, a Group 2 star in Australia in 2019. Making Light’s two group wins included the Killavullan Stakes at Leopardstown, Brown Sugar scored in the Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood, Thawaany was winner of the Prix de Ris-Orangis at Deauville and Meiner Eternel won the Grade 3 Kokura Nisai Stakes in Japan.

With an assessment of 124, Tamayuz was the third highest-rated after Raven’s Pass and Henrythenavigator among the European three-year-old mile colts in the World Thoroughbred Rankings for 2008. Home-bred by Sheikh Hamdan and trained by Freddie Head, he was the best in France where he was unbeaten as a two-year-old, and he scored a Group 1 double there in the Prix Jean Prat (beating Raven’s Pass) and the Prix Jacques Le Marois at three.

The best son of champion Nayef, Tamayuz has an exceptional pedigree as he is closely related to Galileo, Sea The Stars and King’s Best on his dam’s side.

Al Ishq, the dam of Tamayuz, is a daughter of Nureyev and she won in France and bred eight other winners. She is a half-sister to Anabaa Blue who won the Group 1 Prix du Jockey-Club and was a Group 1 sire.
